Long Island Lawyer Recreates Williamsburg Neighborhood in the Brooklyn Banker
Five years ago, Michael Ricigliano had an idea for a mob movie script, and decided he never wanted to lament what might have been. Taking care of his part from his basement as a Long Island lawyer, the old adage of who you know got him to the next step. “I think he read my script more as a courtesy to our mutual friend,” said Ricigliano of Federico Castelluccio, who played Furio on the Sopranos cast. Of course, being able to write what he knew proved the most important factor in forever keeping any regrets at bay.

The Hidden Story Line In Megan Leavey
I went to see Megan Leavey with the expectation of being either extremely unimpressed with the story line itself or very angry with the depiction of women in the military. I did not have either of these happen and found myself pleasantly surprised with what the movie did portray. Don’t get me wrong. There was the usual Hollywood-ization of the military that we all hate – that there was no commonsensical progression of Megan’s boot camp training to becoming a K9 handler (yeh, sure, all boots just get handed a dangerous dog to train one day after it bites its handler and crushes several bones in his hand) or in their flight to or disbursement within Iraq (please, if you got on one plane in California and got off the same plane in Iraq without any stops and immediately were transported to your FOB, I’m curious to hear about it). Also, there are no Rip-its in this film. Worst of all, there was a serious lack of the perfect gelled/sprayed hair and sock buns that women Marines are known for – not that we really saw any women Marines besides Leavey after the extremely boot camp scenes.

Review of 'Logan' (Spoilers)
Today I sat down with my parents to watch Logan. I’m going to tell you here what I thought about it. They were both surprised by the amount of swearing and violence. This is not your typical superhero movie, that’s for sure. My father was unhappy to see this darker interpretation of Wolverine. Personally, I loved it. I thought that this was exactly the film that needed to happen. I’ve heard that Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart aren’t going to be doing any more X-Men films after this one, which I’m happy to hear because this is a perfect send-off. The film ends with Wolverine dying and it is one of the most emotional death scenes ever.

Rachel Weisz 'My Cousin Rachel' Interview
My Cousin Rachel is a novel by British author Daphne du Maurier, published in 1951. Like the earlier Rebecca, it is a mystery-romance, set primarily on a large estate in Cornwall. The story has its origins in a portrait of Rachel Carew at Antony House in Cornwall, which du Maurier saw and took as inspiration.

The Black Panther Trailer Dropped
To say that I await Black Panther with immeasurable anticipation and bated breath is an understatement. I have been admittedly overly dramatic and annoying in my social circles with talk of this project for well over a year. My excitement has been brimming since Marvel announced a Black Panther film back in 2014 among its list of upcoming projects, and the closer that we inch to the release of the film, the more unbearable the waiting becomes.

Twin Peaks 2017: MIKE and the Magician Theory
In a show that is built on the intrigue of mysteries, the nature of MIKE and his significance in Twin Peaks has long been one of its most confounding. Is he a spirit of some kind, like BOB? How is he connected to The Man from Another Place, who is referred to as The Arm? Why do they sometimes appear together, but sometimes separately? What are his motivations - his actions don't obviously help or hinder Cooper (or Laura)? Could trying to understand his true nature be key to other Twin Peaks mysteries, such as the doppelgangers?

Changing the Venue. Top Story - June 2017.
Netflix debuted its $60 million original movie War Machine in late May. The reviews for the Afghan War-era film starring Brad Pitt were all over the place, from mildly rapturous to downright vicious. But if a recent study is to be believed, television viewers have made a decision about changing their moviegoing habits in a way that makes Netflix and other streaming services war machines themselves. The legacy studios are not happy.
